We need to talk about why millennials are ageing better than Gen Z.

While millennials have copped it on everything from their dance moves and their social media mannerisms to how they wear their socks, there's one thing they're apparently really good at: ageing.

Because according to cosmetic experts, millennials may actually look younger than the generations before them — including baby boomers and Generation X — as well as the generations after them, like Gen Z. And for good reason.

Thanks to leading healthier lifestyles, being more well-informed around skincare (including sun protection) and makeup techniques, apparently us millennials look more youthful than other generation. (Hooray!)

Watch: Curiosity got the better of us! Renny asked Dr. Naomi McCullum, a cosmetic physician who runs a luxury clinic called The Manse, everything she'd do to her face. Post continues below.

Just take a look at social media, and you'll come across numerous viral videos on the topic. 

TikTok creator Jordan the Stallion said: "Millennials age differently from the older generation and this newest generation."

"The older generation look exactly like their age. A 50-year-old looks like a 50-year-old. A 20-year-old looks like a 20-year-old," he adds.

"The newest generation - they all just look like adults at this point. Every single person in the newest generation already looks like they have a house and they're paying a mortgage."

"Even worse is the content created by and for the brands whose business it is, quite literally, to platform tanning because they make tanning products. The aggressive marketing of tanning oils and accelerators to young people (sometimes actual children) online contributes to the demand for these products."
